We free the struct ubootvarfs_inode::var as part of destroy_inode. In case we have unlinked the U-Boot variable beforehand, we will end up double-freeing. Set the member to NULL, so it's skipped in destory_inode. We keep the free in destroy_inode, because that's still needed for all the other inodes that aren't unlinked.
